Nakeel decided to hit me with this. Tradition dictates I respond

Rules:

1. Post six weird facts/habits about yourself. These cannot be used against you later on.
2. At the bottom name the six people you will tag next.
3. Leave them a comment to let them know they’ve been tagged and to read your blog.

All righty then, here we go:

I can spell “supercalifragilisticexpialidocious” without having to look it up. However, I sometimes have a hard time with general spelling.

I have worn glasses since I was 6. And when I say glasses I mean proper frigging thick glasses not the muppet “fashion” things most of you wear! The first frames I had must have been made from the same stuff they use to make the black box on aeroplanes. They were unbreakable. And yes I did try to break them many many times. But I failed. I still have them somewhere. The day I got my first pair of contact lenses was very exciting. It was like my world had changed.

The first proper original (i.e. not bootleg/copied/pirated) cassette tape I ever owned was Run DMC’s – King of Rock album. It was given to me by the older brother of a friend. I still remember the excitement of having a cassette where the names of the songs were actually printed straight onto the cassette itself (unlike the bootleg versions going around Kenya where the songs were printed on a piece of paper and glued onto the cassette.
The first proper original (i.e. not bootleg/copied/pirated) cassette tape I actually bought myself was the soundtrack to Bodyguard. (Yes I was young and “in love”)! That album always puts a smile on my face. I am sad for what Whitney Houston is going through. She was meant to go on to become our Aretha Franklin. I hope she finds peace again.

The only club football team I would support in a match against Liverpool FC (WWI5T) would be the mighty AFC Leopards.

I used to collect stamps. For some reason I had a large number of Iraqi stamps. I wonder if a stamp with Saddam Hussein’s headshot is worth anything on eBay. In a brilliant piece of foresight I kept a large number of the small purple 1 Kenyan Shilling stamps that used to be everywhere but are impossible to get now. Surely they must be worth something on eBay! I misplaced the stamp collection anyway. I now collect key chains and maps.

In an ideal world I would be either a stand up comedian or a chef.

Who’s next: Kipepeo, Birth of a Notion, Uaridi, Kabinti, Spicebear, JKE
